    One Year Later—The True Cost of Israel’s War on Gaza and the West Bank: A Conversation with Prof. Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins and Dr. Jess Ghannam

    Today we are joined by Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins and Jess Ghannam, who comment on a devastating new report authored by Stamatopoulou-Robbins.

    A. Naomi Paik and Ashley Dawson on the Close Connection between Abolition Sanctuary and Environmental Activism from Below

    Today, Sunday morning, October 20, former general Prabowo Subianto is being sworn in as Indonesia’s new president. We release a conversation we had earlier this month with Intan Paramaditha and Michael Vann about the road leading up to this inauguration, beginning in the 1960s with the Suharto regime.
